When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.
Review
★★★★✩ I give.
The One is probably my least favourite book from the trilogy. Even with all the events happening in the book, none seem to stick to my mind, perhaps because it was rushed and the reader. aka. me, didn't have time to mourn or process the events or the lost lives, especially at the end. The ending is too happy, or it seems like it is too happy because it comes along so fast. After three tragedies, they are all happy and ready to settle. What?
SPOILER
Dude, your mom and your dad just died and all you can think about is marrying her? It's already obvious she's The One.
And, and, what about the fact that her dad is a rebel or whatever, how does not impact or influence anything? Just knowing about it makes it as pointless as mentioning it in the first place.
I am frustrated with the rushed events and the ending. I wanted more, and perhaps one hundred more pages would've kept me from remembering what else happened towards the ending.
I wanted to feel happier and relieved as they were after the incidents, instead, I feel absolutely nothing. I finished the book on good terms, just not good enough for me to remember how good the past two books and the beginning of the first one were.
On the bright side, I love his name and will always remember it.
Maxon..
